for utility and power applications in O&G segment
Fuel oil trends:
-Decreasing quality
-Same quality globally
Reasons for lower FO quality than specified:
-Long transportation and storage times
Risks with untreated Fuel oil:
-Ash content causing engine wear
-Water from deposits in tanks causing
corrosion
-Catfines, abrasive wear
-Corrosion from Sodium and Vanadium

Heavy Crude Oil Dehydration
Heavy oil production is increasing
Drivers
High oil price justifies heavy crude oil development
and production
Light oil discoveries are in minority
Diminishing light oil production
Enablers
Developments in horizontal drilling and production
FPSOs and new riser technology (deep waters)
Increase in refinery capacity and technology
Developments in thermal production technologies
(e.g. SAGD)
www.alfalaval.com
Heavy Crude Oil Dehydration
Separation challenges
Small density difference between oil and water
Tight emulsions
Solids (sand, clay, waxes, resins and asphaltenes)
High viscosity
In traditional separation equipment
High heating requirements and CO2 emissions
High chemical consumption
Long retention times very big tanks
Solids build up in equipment over time
Difficult to reach product spec considerable wash
water consumption to reduce salt content
www.alfalaval.com
Heavy Crude Oil Dehydration
The centrifugal solution
Handles heavy and viscous oils with emulsions
Lower separation temperature than traditional
separators means
substantially reduced heating requirement
substantial savings in fuel costs
reduced CO2 emissions
reduced chemical consumption
Three-phase separation of oil/water/solids with
continuous solids discharge
Optiphaser control system sustains high
performance with varying feed composition

Deck drains and Bilge water
Alfa Laval is very active with process optimization
and research about new separation technologies
An important reference list on Bilge water
Alfa Laval has been working with the Deck Drains
treatment since the late 1980s
The EcoStream and Phoenix systems are helping
our customers to save money and build up an
environmental friendly profile
Alfa Laval is also supplying process solutions to
treat oily water for shore based sites as well

Produced Water Treatment
Oil & Gas Application
Why use produce water treatment
Produced water trends:
- Increasing environmental issues/problems
- Tougher legislation
- Conventional equipment will have problem to
perform due to increasing HCO production
Reasons for treating produced water with
centrifuges:
- To fulfill down hole water injection and overboard
water specification
- Oil production with high pressure drops will
increase the oil in water emulsion stability on the
water treatment side.
- Conventional equipment will need to be bulky
and long retention time needed.
- Energy, weight & space savings

Slop Oil Treatment
Oil & Gas Application
Why use slop oil treatment?
Slop oil trends:
-Increasing environmental issues/problems
-Tougher legislation
Reasons for treating slop oil:
-Slop oil stored in tanks and ponds is an
environmental problem
-Reject streams are taking tank farm space
- Increased oil price globally
- Oil recovered can be sold at profit
- Waste can be minimized
